Comics Workshop with Julia Gfrorer: March 5 - 8 2018

The Sequential Artists Workshop invites you to come plumb the dark depths of your inspiration with a master of the art—Julia Gfrörer. Gfrörer's comics are unmistakable, singular visions—narratives that ache with longing and despair, as poignant in their silences as in their actions.

Gfrörer captures the humanity in horror and the horror in humanity, whether she's drawing stories about persecution in ancient Rome ("Palm Ash"), a dying sailor adrift in the ocean ("Black is the Color"), a supernaturally touched widow in a plague-ravaged city ("Laid Waste") or an excruciating pornographic retelling of Poe's "Cask of Amontillado" ("In Pace Requiescat," with Sean T. Collins). Reading her comics, alive with nervous energy, is like cracking bones to suck marrow.
